A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak.
This is not a talented trader.
"We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row.
That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research.
That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes.
Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses.
There are only two explanations and both should terrify you.
Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime.
Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse.
This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call.
While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings.
You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

@pahlkadot I agree with almost all of what u have written here. I don’t think however that any of this stops trump from winning. Inflation, racism, and anti woman carried most of the day with a healthy dollop of we know better than u about ur personally economy thrown in.

@sdamico As a Californian, very few in California actually care about high-speed rail. If it never gets built, most here don't care. The point on regulations is dead-on, and you can see that in housing starts and rebuilds here.

This Christian just ripped his fellow Christians a new asshole over their mind-numbingly moronic worship of the loathsome piece of shit. 🔥🔥🔥👇

The dumbest part of the WaPo/LA Times not endorsing at the behest of their billionaire owners is that it turned a non-story into a major one. Their endorsements of Harris would have been a blip. Their silence is a bright light shining on their cowardice.

@IvanTheK Change the tagline please, since apparently darkness is your new ethos

@JonLemire Bezos is a fucking coward, if he wants trump then say so.

[wbudding @wbudding]

@IvanTheK snickers from these choices

@KyleNeubeck @DerekBodnerNBA Terrible answer, terrible look. The simplest answer is he was hurt again and they didn’t tell us.

Trump closed down a McDonald’s for his photo op because of course he did.

Fake customers and fake adoration at other fake event, all to satiate a narcissists ego.
